purpleowl Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 Did 3 miles and arm work. It's in the upper 40s right now and the air is nice and crisp, which I absolutely LOVE for a walk. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy the Valiant Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I need to join today! I recently lost my best walking partner, our dear dog, and am struggling to get back out there without him. I'm posting here now to commit to a walk at 2:00 while my kids are in a class. Will update later. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm proud of you for committing to walk today. ❤️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny in Florida Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Woke up to rain this morning that made my usual outdoor walk seem unappealing (especially to the dog). So I settled on doing the Leslie Sansone 5K with a Twist video, then tackled day two of the 12 Days of Fitness challenge (which just might defeat me). Those kinds of indoor steps don't register on the Holiday Hustle app, but I am already ahead on that challenge. It was then time to shower sit down to work, so my 30 minutes on the stationary bike will have to be an afternoon or evening activity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I did a 25 minute DDPY workout. It is getting easier. Pushups are still hard but this is getting easier. Then I got on my treadmill and called an elderly lady from church to check in with her. I was huffing quite a bit. About 15 minutes in I realized it was because a) I was talking the whole time and b) I had increased the incline up to 8% grade for a few minutes last time and didn't reset it, and c) I increased the speed just a tad. That said, I did 20 minutes at the faster pace and higher grade, then 5 minutes backwards at the higher grade but much slower, and then a 5 minute cool down, still at the higher Incline but at only 2mph. I don't love the treadmill at all but I do find it is getting easier and will be good for getting me into hiking shape for spring. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawz4me Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 We had a very chilly, breezy walk this morning. I was definitely under-dressed and was super glad when we made it back home! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy the Valiant Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) Did the walk! 8,746 steps today. For today, that's good. (Editing to add ~ Thank you for the kind words. DS and I think we are doing better this week than before. I'm ok one minute, and then have to sit down because I can't breathe. I miss him so much. It is better for me to walk in places he didn't go, like the place where my kids' class was today. I need to work up to going in our regular "together" places. Not ready yet but need the exercise somehow.) Edited December 8, 2020 by Lucy the Valiant 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Familia Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 (edited) Walked this AM first thing. Vowing to get back into the habit that I have begun since July that got dumped for Thanksgiving cleaning (despite no real event), time change, slump post 20-in-20, and work travel with DH. Back to it today and it felt so good to be out at dawn! I am so sorry to hear you lost your walking canine companion @Lucy the Valiant Edited December 8, 2020 by Familia ETA sympathy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbgrace Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I got 30 minutes on my exercise bike and a pilates session in this evening. I did some extra stretching afterward. I think I'm getting stronger. 12 hours ago, Lucy the Valiant said: I need to join today! I recently lost my best walking partner, our dear dog, and am struggling to get back out there without him. I'm so sorry, Lucy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
